When --csv is enabled, fields are separated 127 by commas, fields may be quoted with " double quotes, fields 128 may contain embedded newlines. 129 130 If no explicit separator argument is provided, split() uses 131 the setting of --csv to determine how fields are split. 132 133 Strings may now contain UTF-8 code points (not necessarily 134 characters). Functions that operate on characters, like 135 length, substr, index, match, etc., use UTF-8, so the length 136 of a string of 3 emojis is 3, not 12 as it would be if bytes 137 were counted. 138 139 Regular expressions are processed as UTF-8. 140 141 Unicode literals can be written as \u followed by one 142 to eight hexadecimal digits. These may appear in strings and 143 regular expressions. 144
